      <h2>Our History</h2>

      <p>
        Formally trained as a Natural Holistic Food Chef, Derrick began his quest to share his passion for cutting edge nutrition at Google's Slice Cafe in Mountain View California. As Lead Natural Food Chef of the exclusively Vegan, Raw and Vegetarian restaurant he began developing and sharing his recipes with a group of loyal customers. In 2006 Derrick’s work was featured in Fortune 500 Magazine’s Top 100 Employers to Work For. A year later while working as a Private Chef for an Eating Disorder Clinic, Derrick began formulating nutritionally dense bite sized meal replacements to address the needs of his clientele. He continued to fine tune and developed his flavor profiles while working as a Private Chef at Stanford University. The reception of his creations at Stanford  was so overwhelming that he decided to share them with a wider audience.

    <h2>Fouder's Story</h2>

    <p>
      My love for chocolate and cookies began at Herzog’s Pharmacy in Buffalo, New York. Located on North Side at the corner of a busy intersection, Herzog’s was the neighborhood one stop make you feel better store. As a six year old the antiseptic smell that embraced me when I entered would always disappear when the candy shelves came into view.
      The length of the isle seemed to stretch as far as my eyes could see. Herzog’s had it all…Zagnuts, Almond Joy, Babe Ruth, 1000 Grand, 3 Musketeers, Clark and Heath Bars, Junior Mints, Malo Cups, Milky Way,

      Milk Duds, Rolos, Nestles Crunch, Sugar Babies, Oreo, Chips Ahoy, Gram Crackers,  ah..Herzog’s candy isle was my first true love. The memory of my Mother smiling as she watch me cross that busy intersection alone for the first time still holds a place in my mind.


      With fifty cents in my pocket and a newborn feeling of independence my love affair with cookies and chocolate candy began.  Almost forty years later I decided to recreate my first love affair…with a twist. Take the same great tasting memorable flavor profiles and make them nutritionally dense and healthy. Each one of my chocolate and cookie creations holds a special place in my memory. I feel blessed that as a father I can share those updated healthier memories with my son Sky, and now hopefully you.
